When a book is self-published through a big digital publisher (Authorhouse, iUniverse, Lulu, Xlibris), its distribution plan probably amounts to selling through Amazon.com -- and wherever you can get a few copies on a table or shelf.
If you have a website and good traffic, then you have another distribution outlet.
Some publishers distribute through warehouses including Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Brodart and other national distributors.
But the better choice is to use a small press or self-publishing company that has established a network for sales beyond these channels. A company with a national distributor has a sales team that distributes the publisher’s catalogue to buyers, chains, independent bookstores, and libraries. Sea Hill Press has this type of sales network.
